MERCH!
Giant Bomb - a website about video games and the people that make them

kone's Articles

I wouldn't steal a car, but I would download a copyrighted picture of one and Photoshop it. Ah, another year of making dumb Giant Bomb-related content, and some non-Giant Bomb-related content too (remember this for later). Last year , my list consisted of top 10 tweets according to Twitter Analytics, but I changed it up this year because I realized that the site ranks top tweets by impressions....

These are Kone's Tweets of 2022 (according to Twitter Analytics)! Oh, what a year it's been. My artwork(?)/Tweets have been featured on Giant Bomb through The Community Spotlight, Retweeted by the staff, and have even shown up in some of their streams. I'm still waiting for my residual checks from Jeff Bakalar for showing this poster I made every time he plays Eternal Darkness . Just kidding, o...

Thank you, Giant Bomb and especially Rorie! Finally got my replacement shir- Note: I did this as a joke, but it turns out that some people actually like the mish-mash of all the new designs together. Now to convince Rorie to convince the artists that butchering their artwork for shirt #8 is the right thing to do!

While watching Hyrule Hustle , Dan came up with a title for Jess's pro strat of not moving while holding a bomb over her head. Jeff Grubb also supposedly cheated and ended up downing an apple. You had to be there.

During the Nintendo Direct talk over , Nintendo showed the term "grub" while showcasing Splatoon 3 . This is when Jan said, "I just need someone to Photoshop Jeff Grubb as the center option." This is what I came up with.

Face/Off re-imagined with Dan and Jeff Grubb 's gaming rivalry. "I can beat you on Peach Circuit for hours."

BREAKING: Leaked concept title card for new show coming to Giant Bomb . Sources indicate Jeff Grubb to helm Premium-only series featuring personal top 100 adult games on Steam.

Due to a change in the file size limit on the site, I can't upload the original gif, but you can still find it here at a lower quality on my Twitter and a higher quality one here .

Calvin pissing on himself using portals came up recently. I thought it needed its own comic.

Made this logo three years ago. It finally paid off.

After listening to the latest Voicemail Dump Truck , someone had to do it. I guess.

During an Unprofessional Fridays , Jess played Kirby and the Forgotten Land and showed Kirby looking at a Kirby figure, Jan proclaimed,"Ah, man, I wanna look at a small statue of myself now." Done.

On Unprofessional Fridays , Jess pleas with Jan to not screen grab her "making a really bad face." The crew discuss how that's not possible since it's on the internet now. Jason comes up with a great idea.

On the Voicemail Dump Truck , Jeff B. showed a picture of his younger self. Jess said he looked like one of her former bullies. Jeff then posted the picture on Twitter , and so this had to be done.

Jan recently professed his love for Fuecoco from Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet , so I decided to change up his PokéMonday Night Combat show logo.

Introducing CryptoBombs, Giant Bomb's worst nightmare. But they're completely worthless, so it's okay. Right?! I'm gonna get banned from the site, aren't I?

In 2019, I made a Giant Bomb x LEGO BrickHeadz crossover. Two years later, with some changes to the crew, it needed an update.

Jess recently Tweeted a new logo for the Nuke Dot Com YouTube channel . She also said that she had to make sure it didn't look too much like a butt plug. This had to be done.

During Jeff Bakalar's segment on the Giant Bombathon 2021 , we saw him play Bingo Poppidoppolous' Pinball-Golf Paradise. This had to be done.

In another timeline, after watching Rorie and Jess play Spelunky 2 on Party of One , Giant Bomb decides to release a new show...

In another timeline, Jan actually got the tattoo they talked about on the Giant Bombcast .

Ever since I heard "See You Again" on Giant Bomb's farewell video with Vinny, Alex, and Brad , I knew I had to make this.

It started as a Nintendo entry for the 12th Annual E3 Banner Contest , but went off the rails in light of recent events.

Last summer, I (unfortunately) introduced the world to the Giant Bomb x Funko Pop! crossover. This summer, I'm trying to make it worse, or maybe better. I'm not sure which, really.

Judging by the crew's reaction to Gooigi , I had to make this, and I'm sorry for everything, especially to Brad.

I originally submitted this as my Square Enix entry for the 11th Annual E3 Banner Contest : I then decided to follow it up with a dumb video as well: And here's the full picture:

The 11th Annual E3 Banner Contest is coming this week, so I thought I'd post the banners that I submitted last year. I hope people will enjoy what I've cooked up for this year's contest.

This was as close as I could get to the Grand Theft Auto V game cover with Giant Bomb related things.

Maybe this happened in a different timeline.

That wasn't a typo. I repeat, gnames was not a typo. Kone is a Community Member at Giant Bomb. He sparked the Funko Pop! x Giant Bomb craze of 2018 and ended the year with a GIF of Giant Bomb's very own Jan Ochoa as The Quiet Man . He also claimed two second place finishes in Giant Bomb's 10th Annual E3 Banner Contest, which makes him a double loser. 2018 was a great year for gnames. What's tha...

What happens when you watch Giant Bomb play Rakugakids and decide to do a crossover? This monstrosity. You're welcome, Jeff.

Giant Bomb's Jan Ochoa in The Quiet Man (in video and GIF form).

We're all aware of Jeff's opinion on Yoshi. Now, after his Garfield with Gerstmann series, we also know that he's developed a deep hatred for Odie as well. What if we combined the two and also remixed Cal Skuthorpe's Gerstfield into it? Introducing Jeff Gerstmann from Giant Bomb, Garfield and Odie from the Garfield comic strip, and Yoshi from the Mario franchise in the least ambitious crossover...

I originally made a version of this poster when Jeff and Dan started doing their All Systems Goku podcast. I have since updated it and have decided to make a blog entry after seeing how they are officially experts in anime now after appearing on the Giant Bomb x Crunchyroll ANIME 101 Panel at Anime Expo 2018.

If you haven't heard, Jeff Gerstmann was ecstatic when he saw the Gears Pop! reveal during Giant Bomb's E3 2018 Microsoft Press Conference . Here's an update to my previous post (where others have also made Funk Pop! versions of people related to Giant Bomb) which now includes all the crew. Bomb Pop! Bomb Pop! II Bomb Pop! II: Champion Edition Super Bomb Pop! II: The New Challengers

After seeing Jeff, Alex, and Dan's reactions to the Gears Pop! reveal during their coverage of the E3 2018 Microsoft Press Conference , I had to make this.

Alex is a chalk-full of surprises. The Persona 5 Spoilercast was a podcast by Alex Navarro and Ben Pack that I didn't listen to. Instead, I made something that, sorta coincidentally, no one can actually listen to, a GIF. With the use of Giant Bomb user SupernormalStep's drawing, I inserted Alex into a scene that makes it look like he's a proud jerk. Sorta coincidentally, I like to proudly jerk...

The man-thing, the myth, the legend. The Quick Look: ARMS video featured Dan Ryckert and Vinny Caravella. While discussing characters in the game, Vinny is heard saying, "I don't really don't like it much going on with Helix at all." From what I gather from the grammatically confusing sentence, he doesn't seem to like Helix. Therefore, it was my duty to make a Vinny-Helix hybrid. I shall call h...

Jason extremely eager to give some love. The Quick Look: Friday the 13th: The Game video was brought to you by Ben Pack and Jeff Gerstmann. Naturally, I had to make a GIF of Jason attacking one of them. Naturally, it had to be the new guy. Before you complain that I shouldn't be promoting violence, who's to say that Mr. Voorhees is actually attacking Ben? Perhaps he's just giving him a big ol'...

Dan having the time of his life. This image was inspired by The Giant Beastcast - Episode 109 podcast in which Dan Ryckert reveals to Vinny Caravella, Jeff Bakalar, and Abby Russell that if he were given a real-life Cappy from Super Mario Odyssey , the first thing he would possess would be an in-play racquetball. He goes on to say that the physical characteristic that the racquetball would have...
